The novel “Victories Greater Than Death” by Charlie Jane Anders was published for the first time in 2021. It’s the first book in the Unstoppable trilogy.

Tina Mains may appear to be a normal teenager, but she knows she’s an alien, given up for adoption on Earth to remain hidden on a remote planet. When the beacon implanted in her body lights up, signaling the arrival of a Royal Fleet starship to take her back to her true people, she’s tense and excited at the same time. Rachael, her best human friend, stays with her, partly to support her and partly to live an adventure better than her life on Earth. However, the new situation proves bittersweet, and even recruiting young Earthlings proves complicated.

Tina discovers she’s a clone of the legendary Thaoh Argentian, a legacy she immediately finds truly burdensome because everyone says she’s a great heroine. She must undergo treatments to reverse the effects of the genetic modifications that make her appear human, and most importantly, restore Thaoh Argentian’s memory. Something goes wrong, and Tina finds herself with the woman’s knowledge but not her personal memories. As if that weren’t enough, the starship is attacked by the enemies from the Compassion, led by Marrant, the one who killed her. Her survival depends on the secret of the Shapers, and the Talgan Stone is a clue.
